Hey! New here? Destructoid is a gaming discussion community, updated nearly every 20 minutes. Make a quick avatar to comment and enter our contests. Take the tour!
[I don't want to be "that guy", but no one reads Ripten, and a couple of IRC-loitering Dtoiders have already taken part in it- i figure others might want to as well. It's for your benefit, I swear! Plus, if enough people don't enter, what the fuck are we gonna do with them?
While I'm at it, you can also win 1 of 30 limited edition Rock Band guitars.
Also, type in the Konami Code and press enter. Yeah, on this page. Right here. Do it. I dare you.]
*gasp* Man, that title is a mouthful.
The second Call of Duty: World at War (seriously, I refuse to call it Call of Duty 5.) map pack just hit, and while presumably thousands of people are having fun with it right now, you might’ve just hoped it would hit the proverbial online bargain bin soon enough, even though it’s a measly $10. Well, now you don’t have to, because we at Ripten are giving away 5 PS3 codes and 5 Xbox 360 codes for the map pack.
Of course, we can’t just give them to you. That would be crazy! No siree- but you can hit the jump to see what you can do to win a code.
To win one of these codes, all you have to do is make a drawing in MS Paint (or Paintbrush for Mac, Tuxpaint for Linux, or whatever) and leave a link to the picture in the comments below, but don’t forget to tell us which console you want the code for. [NOT THESE COMMENTS, THE COMMENTS ON THE ORIGINAL POST.] The drawing can be of anything- as long as it’s gaming related, and the Ripten staff will choose the 5 best PS3 artist drawings and the 5 best Xbox 360 artist drawings. The main point of the contest is that you absolutely cannot use anything other than a rudimentary paint program. You can even use an iPhone paint program if you want to, but if we see any hints of Photoshopping, GIMPing, Paint.NET-ing, or A.viary-ing, your painting will not count.
Keep in mind though- best doesn’t necessarily mean most skillfull. If your drawing is though provoking, or funny, or artsy, or even just totally outrageous enough to make us like it, then you’ll probably win. That’s not to say that skillful artists won’t win- you can make a drawing of anything, as long as the drawing is related to video games. It doesn’t have to look like a Monet, though- Pollacks and Picassos are just as welcome.
You can submit as many masterpieces as you want, but make sure you leave a link to them before midnight (between Tues. & Wed.), Tuesday June 23rd, tomorrah!. Get to it, guys!
I don't know why you went to Joystiq, maybe you got fed up with our antics, maybe you just preferred Joystiq, but come back. I always thought you redefined adorable, man.
:)
Okay, I'm done, I swear.

So earlier BahamutZero linked me to a post he was about to make. Something about a girl he met on the subway, and how he fucked her. I figured it would've made for a funny post- But he linked pictures of him in the act and posted it in a blog. It's gross, and you can see his penis, and her boobs and whatnot, so I told him not to post the blog.
Buuuut, now he's passed out drunk, and I'm posting the link to his blog anyway. Ha.
Enjoy.
Or don't.
I originally wrote this over at Ripten, but no one reads Ripten. I really wish I were joking. So here you go. This is aaaaaalll just a rumor.
As of this point, we’ve seen almost everything The Beatles Rock Band has to offer. The beautiful trailers, the astounding opening cinematic, the gameplay, the screenshots- everything except for the setlist itself. We only know of the ten confirmed songs that played over the opening cinematic for the game, but if the information we just received is correct, then the game’s full setlist is out there- and it’s great.
The rumored setlist features all of the songs that were in the cinematic, from “I Saw Her Standing There” to “Here Comes The Sun”, but features some new Beatles classics such as “Can’t Buy Me Love”, “Help!”, and “Revolution”. There are some songs that were obviously not going to be in the game- piano heavy songs like “Hey Jude” aren’t present, but I’m still ready to plunk down $250 for the full game bundle. (Especially with my current absence of any Rock Band gear.) I’m not going to try and influence you, though- you can make your own decision after viewing the “leaked” setlist.
[Thanks tazar!]

Many of you already know that Max Payne 3 is going to be a huuuuge change from the first two games, but as of now we don't have any details, aside from the fact that the game will be headlining the newest issue of Game Informer. Well, thanks to an industrious gamer that received their copy early, we now have the entire MP3 (I love when games end up like that- like Metroid Prime 3.) article transcribed, by hand. Enjoy.
Of course, for legal reasons, I can't post it here. Destructoid does not condone plagiarized transcriptions of publications in any way, shape, or form. So hit this link, yallzzzzzzz read more
Only one entry this week, from TheDRMaster. Come on, guys, enter yo' painteengs. Also, congratulations are in order for...
AGENTMOO!
His avatar was voted the best in a 47%/53% decision, with Lemon as the runner up. Shoot me an email, Moo, and I'll send off yo' prize.
But the June Contest is still open, guys! This week's theme is E3, and you can get all the details for the contest below. Enter your paintings, or I'll keep making these damned reminder blogs.
This week's topic is...
Thats right, ladies and gentlemen and NamelessTed, It's E3! Microsoft completely ruled E3 today with their fantastic conference, and with fanboys abound, bitching about MGS this and Final Fantasy that, it's only suitable that you get your own word in- or should I sauy, picture. So take a couple of seconds and draw an entry for this week's contest. Anything, really- maybe a picture of Olivia Munn, a represenation of your favorite/least favorite thing from E3- anything! As long as it's (even loosely) related to the expo, and made only with MS paint, it's a valid entry. Entries will be valid until this Saturday, at Midnight. Hurrz the rulez. read more
Congrats Lemon! His painting was awesome, and he won with 25% of the votes.
Shortblog this time, as I'm still catching up on E3 hysteria, but speaking of E3, you can't honestly tell me that you didn't see this week's topic coming...

Also, the poll! Whose MS Paint Masterpiece did you like more? Lemon's or AgentMOOs? I'd give it to my man Lemon, because we citric fruits gotta stick together, but AgentMOO put me in his game. Dilemmas! What do you think guys? Vote in the poll below. The winner of this poll will win the grand prize... for this month, anyway. Poll ends at 6PM tomorrow.
And as one last note- shut the fuck up about Metal Gear Solid on the Xbox 360. Like you didn't fucking see this coming. Jeez. And hurf durf hurf, is not an xbox escluseev- Who gives a shit? Don't say that indignantly, as if it'd be better if it was a Xbox/Playstation exclusive. read more
Sorry this one's late, guys. Seven entries this week, vote for the best! I'll put up the next topic tomorrow, when I announce the winner. Poll ends in roughly 24 hours- at 4:40PM tomorrow. Once again, hurrs the rules.
The winner of this poll will face AgentMOO's painting in an all out caged grudge match- for a random prize of their selection.
